Why do americans refuse to adopt the metric system? Is it contrarianism?

Why do americans refuse to adopt the metric system? Is it contrarianism?

That's like 148 beach balls.

We have no need for it. Why don't you adopt the Imperial system?

Metric system gives no scale to imagine the actual size, a gorilla does

I look down on the rest of the world in arrogance and disdain.

space gorillas coming to earth

it's been done

Indians will use their feet for everything but measuring

Too late to change. You’d have to retrain everyone, construction and military especially stand out. Fahrenheit is great though. 0 is extreme cold, 100 is extreme heat. Anything outside of that is outright life threatening

This except food regulations.

A gallon in america is different to a gallon everywhere else on the planet.
So i bet a "gorilla" is actually a fucking bird of some sort in america, coz americans are fucking retarded.

0 is extreme cold

It's not absolute zero though.

1 gorilla is approximately .75 cow, dumb jeet.

America uses both metric and imperial. Anyone in engineering knows this. Puny EU brains can't comprehend changing units when ever they feel like.

You cuck to us, not the other way around. Also, the UN is the league of irrelevant nations. They should move their headquarters to Bangladesh.

No countries use Kelvin for everyday stuff though, even though it's basically the same as Celsius just with a different origin.

Why the fuck would I use metric that's retarded as shit you hoe ass nigga

Thomas Jefferson passed on it in 1790 because he had a beef with the French. And the 1860s came and went, and companies didn't want to pay to change over to metric.

this thread again

You don't want to have this thread again Americans have proven that imperial is better every time this comes up.

12,802 cans of Spam (by volume)
one beach ball is 86.5 cans of spam the 12 oz ones
The thing with those metric folk is they just don't know math that well so they have to keep everything very simple.

Funny thing is, USA is actually metric. The real difference is the way we operate. The standard measurements are Imperial but the units are defined in metric.

I didn’t realize it was that cold over there. It’s a reference for the masses, not ideal for science

no fuck you that's wring you're an idiot and I am disregarding your retarded take

It's true though.

1 inch is defined as exactly 25.4 millimeters.

1 foot = 12 inches = 304.8 mm.

1 pound (avoirdupois) = 0.45359237 kilograms.

1 gallon (U.S.) = 3.785411784 liters.

These conversions are not approximations... they are exact and were internationally agreed upon.
For example: The yard was defined in terms of the meter in 1959 by the international yard and pound agreement, where: 1 yard = 0.9144 meters exactly

Every engineer and scientist in America already uses metric

Only the rural trash baboons still measure distances in British feet

Fahrenheit is great though. 0 is extreme cold, 100 is extreme heat. Anything outside of that is outright life threatening

0 °F, was established as the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt).[2][3] The other limit established was his best estimate of the average human body temperature, originally set at 90 °F, then 96 °F

Absolue buffoonery

Is Gorillion actually not a number but a measurement?

France smells like piss and also french people can't do fractions.

Funny thing is, USA is actually metric. The real difference is the way we operate. The standard measurements are Imperial but the units are defined in metric.

Because america is a third world country and has to rely on France for high precision measurements that all other measuring tools are calibrated from

We wouldn't be in this mess if your dumb ass French faggot Joseph Dombey protected the ship bound for the United States carrying a standard kilogram weight that was stolen by fucking Caribbean retards.

Why do americans refuse to adopt the metric system?

Because it makes Europeans, especially the French and Canadians, seethe with rage.

100 niggas vs 12 gorilla meteors

Kek

France smells like piss

America smells like piss and fentanyl poo France smells like flowers.

also french people can't do fractions.

I can do fractions

Americans can’t do algebra or calculus you’re taught linear algebra only (AHAHAHAH!!!) because you’re all slaves on par with pajeets

Americans can’t even understand math they’ve only been taught to do operations left to right as they appear, if you show them an equation in 2D their brain just explodes and they start rambling on incoherently about "pmad"

A gallon in america is different to a gallon everywhere else on the planet.

That's cuz the Briish are wrong.

wtf are you talking about? All high schools near me require algebra and calculus. Idk if that's true for all places here, but you're unironically retarded.

We wouldn't be in this mess if your dumb ass French faggot Joseph Dombey protected the ship bound for the United States carrying a standard kilogram weight that was stolen by fucking Caribbean retards.

Why does america need France to build them a standard kilogram though hmmmm? Is it because we’re high tech unlike you? Little Uncle Sam can’t into precision engineering is that it?

he doesn’t drink brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt)

Calculus is a requirement at any college before you take Linear Algebra. Calculus is taught in high school if your high school is white. If not you take it in college.

No u

lol cunt your reddit is shiny today.

Common core only teaches linear algebra

It was done by your government to create a class of code monkeys, since early computers could only read math line by line and left to right on a single line. Linear algebra is made up nonsense designed to teach American proles how to input numbers to a computer in C from an early age

Keep your gay jew shit, pajeet.

Imagine them learning math properly and figuring out what actually happens on wall street

LE EVIN 12.5 GORZILLLLAS VERSUS ALL
OF EERRPPTHHHHKEKSUK MAXIMUSSS XXXDDDDD

metric is impractical. I unironically use cubits more than any other system of measure

that's like 17571 foreskins

why would i want to be like a scientist? fuck those commies

We have metric units on most things.

How do foreign retards ask for a quarter slice, or half an apple? 'Give me .25 of that pizza fren, and point five of that apple. Fuck off you fucking subhumans.

Common core is for low income nigger areas, kys.

lol based

>he doesn’t drink brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride (a salt)

It freezes so the ice is irrelevant it’s just ammoniacal solution which famously is just like water but with a lower freezing point
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_solution

Aquilo in Factorio Space age is an ocean planet despite being frozen because it’s made up of the stuff

Ammonia meanwhile is like a tranny nitrogen atom who believes it’s a methane molecule.

judging the size of an asteroid by how many "gorllias" it equals in size

picrel

The end of the periplus describes an island populated with hairy and savage people. Attempts to capture the men failed. Three of the women were taken, but were so ferocious that they were killed, their skins brought home to Carthage.[25] The skins were kept in the Temple of Juno (Tanit or Astarte) on Hanno's return and, according to Pliny the Elder, survived until the Roman destruction of Carthage in 146 BC, some 350 years after Hanno's expedition.[11][26]

Hanno's interpreters of an African tribe (Lixites or Nasamonians) called the people Gorillai (in Greek, Γόριλλαι).[25] In 1847, the gorilla, an ape species, was scientifically described and named after the Gorillai. The authors did not affirmatively identify Hanno's Gorillai as the gorilla.[27]

Common core is for low income nigger areas, kys.

It used to be mandatory everywhere a few years ago maybe trunk changed that

Either way, Americans are the only ones who answer 16 in that meme image where the correct answer is 1, Americans get humiliated every time this image is posted.

Metric and Celsius are for Euroqueers and effeminate 3rd worlders that ride their bikes everywhere.

Oi bruv can i get a s̷e̷m̵i̴q̷u̴a̸v̵e̶r̴ of pizza

Oh, look, France ranks below unfortunate US half breeds in education.

protojews instinctively know the best place to start a slave trading ring

I only know gators

You omitted something, Moishe.

The thing is that you can show an idiot metric and they will get it, its very simple, even someone that uses imperial every day can look at metric and see how easy it is. but this is just cope for them being idiots and unable to say cut a tile at 3 and 17/32 and worse if they need to convert that to a decimal or an improper fraction. someone that uses metric exclusively has no concept of imperial because it is too difficult. things that are more difficult to operate though are often more useful.

Absolue buffoonery

You're the dipshits who use a temperature system invented for use in steam engines to gauge the daily weather.

Ukraine on par with US niggers

checks out

It's literally always been that way. Common core was only ever implemented in non-white low income areas.

metric system is better for, uhh, science

List of countries with metric system and flag on moon:

We learn the metric system since junior high school. In colllege all of our exams involve metric. You’ve been lied to.

why are the french so fucking stupid?

/thread

Israel slightly smarter than beaners

LOL LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They tried. STEM has moved to metric.
U.S. measurement system foundation had adopted SI and today all imperial measurements are defined by SI counterparts.
But wouldn't you know it, Reagen has disbanded US metric board for no ducking reason.

Why do americans refuse to adopt the metric system?

PISA tests don’t exist outside the USA so I’m not sure what this graph is supposed to be

This is like trying to rank countries on how well they play American football

Twelve POINT five gorillas, I'd love to know the science behind the point five

imagine believing in moon landings though

Nigger you already use metric literally 9mm caliber.

Please refrain from retard posting.
Just don't do it. Don't give yourself over.
Plus miles, yards, etc it's very soulful.

9mm is a German cartridge faggot

Americans cant even fucking read anymore and you want them to improve their quality of life? Lmao, theyre retards, they never learn.

But aren't you familiar with it ?
You are.
Stop being kike.

The real mindfuck is the guys out there using decimal inches

It was made by the OECD, literally Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques, by someone named Cremieux Recueil. They're French, you subsaharan ape.

Because 1/10000000 the distance between North Pole and equator is much more relatable right? Metric system is fucking retarded.

But Pisa tests still don’t exist outside America?? What does that change

That's our secret, Poo. We use both systems.

The test was literally created in your country by the OECD

Base Ten is trash. Metric would have been ok if it were Base Twelve but instead they went with the worst base just because humans have ten fingers. Imperial is a weird mishmash of bases, but they're still better Base Ten.

Never heard of a Pisa test

In France there is the brevet, the baccalaureat, and partial exams for studies

I assumed Pisa was American because it doesn’t exist in France

Americans can’t do algebra

hon hon hon
x^2=9; now solve for x, le pew

rely on France

el o el

Let me tell you something about these scientists, when they speak to me they WILL speak imperial.

We discovered thermodynamics, along with the revelation that it doesn't matter. Someday you will discover thermodynamics and realize that dividing by ten is less important than, say, closing the door on your submarine.

Anyone who supports the metric system should be teleported back to the French revolution to share a bunk with the Marquis de Sade

x^2=9

That’s not algebra that’s linear algebra

Anon Babble doesn’t even support algebra only on Anon Babble can you post with the correct format
Algebra is an x with a smaller 2 in the top right corner. ^ only exists in linear algebra which is fake math for code monkeys.
In real math the equation is 2D, you can do everything you want and there is an order of operations. In linear algebra it’s just a sequence of characters on a single line, completely impossible to understand math correctly if done in that way

.45 ACP
.38 Special
.357 Magnum
.44 Magnum
.50 BMG
Etc.

Imagine being French and posting something like that on beat 286 of the 24th decaday of Year of the Revolution 233.

rural trash

I think you're projecting, urbanite.

Unrelated but:

In 2019 Boris Johnson proposed changes to the law in the United Kingdom to increase the use of Imperial units. He said this would be a benefit of Brexit. In 2023 the idea was dropped when 98.7% of people said they preferred using metric units. The law was changed to permit wine to be sold in pints. [1]

AHAHAH

Feet, inches, miles, pounds, ounces, tons,
degrees Fahrenheit are for real people.

millimeters, kilometers, grams, and centigrade
are for fags.

Celcius is for tranny fags.

Germans did that. Like bulb, not Edison
Tesla was Austrian. Our Govt is demonic evil. They destroyed full country, you looking at sub.

Americans can’t do algebra or calculus

Damn you're telling me the 2 years of college calculus I took was fake?!?! Sacre Bleu!

Imperial is designed to be practical in everyday life and trades. Metric is objectively worse at a lot of basic things other then conversions which are typically not required.

Much easier to cook/bake with volume units then having to weigh everything. If you deal in trades fractions are important and imperial is much better because the units are divisible by 2, 3, and 4 etc., not just 2 and 5. Calculations become much cleaner and easier to do mentally for plumbing and woodworking for instance and common calculations can be done mentally without decimals or irrational numbers.

Imperial was originally based on using your body as a measure and is perfectly fine when not collaborating with other people. When collaborating that is why we have "standard units" instead of the original informal measurements. A yard is your stride, a foot is your foot, an inch is your thumb (from the knuckle up), an acre is the amount of land you can farm in a day, etc.

>rely on France

el o el

That’s literally how it works
All your units are defined as fractions of french units

The international yard and pound agreement of July 1959 defined the length of the international yard in the United States and countries of the Commonwealth of Nations as exactly 0.9144 meters. Consequently, since a foot is one third of a yard, the international foot is defined to be equal to exactly 0.3048 meters.

In collaboration with the International Geodetic Association created to measure the Earth, the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures, became the world reference center for the measurement of geodetic bases thanks to the discovery of invar, an alloy of nickel and iron with a coefficient of thermal expansion close to zero.

A foot is defined as a fraction of a bar of metal one meter long made in France and a pound is defined as a fraction of a 1kg ball made in France

Other methods use the speed of light measured by machines in France

Even your fries are french.
